ABS or no ABS

I have been wondering how should i choose my first care.
I would like to get information of benefits and minuses of ABS.
I have winter conditions.

ABS is basically a retard-proof approach to stopping as fast as possible. Slam on your brake pedal and the rest is handled electronically. In theory, you could achieve the same level of braking by sheer skill/intuition but it's something that isn't very easy to do when you're in a panic trying to stop.

To be honest, I don't know what kind of vehicle you are even looking at that doesn't have ABS. Almost everything after 2005 has it.

ABS gives you the potential to steer build braking, potentially missing or minimizing the impact damage.

HOWEVER you should practice engaging the ABS in all conditions on a regular basis to get used to it and how to steer while it's engaged. If you freak out and let off of the brake pedal because "that pulsing scares me" then it's worse than just locking up the brakes. Get used to the pulsing. That tells you it's got the brakes and you just deal with the steering.

The same goes with motorcycles, even moreso. Practice, get used to it, be one with the ABS pulsing.

I engage mine sometimes in the winter. It's your car telling you, "Easy there, Mario. Get home in one piece."

*build? Fuck autocorrect.

I meant "steer while braking hard"

I am thinking of volkswagen golf 3 for now.

ABS can be both good and bad in the winter.

Good: it keeps you from locking up the tires
Bad: since your tires don't lock up you just happily keep moving on top of the snow

don't. They're notoriously unreliable.

Can i steer without ABS if i don't lock the wheels.
And if I have ABS if i feel the pulsation can i let it go enough so that i am breaking on the border of pulsation and not pulsation for better traction.

I had two accidents that would have been avoided with ABS. Will never own another daily without ABS and traction control.

I'd recommend a Mazda CX-5.

Same here. I was thinking of getting an Audi Allroad for my first because I dont really "do" Subarus, old sport. It seems like a good choice for where I live, plus gravel roads and such.
